If you speak French

In many cases, you have the right to government services and legal proceedings in French, including hearings before French-speaking decision makers. If you have a legal problem, you can ask a lawyer or a community legal clinic about your French language rights.

Telephone and internet scams are used by criminals to trick people into giving them money or personal information like credit card and bank account numbers. They use fake lotteries, get-rich-quick opportunities, miracle health cures, and many other types of stories. New scams are being created all the time.
